are capable of high milk volume
and protein. They arc suited well
for grazing and free-stall housing
because they are so docile.”
Jane said that her husband
enjoys handling cows except for
the milking which his hired hand
does. This frees her to pursue other
interests. Her most time
consuming and fulfilling interest is
organizing a Lenape Honoring
Festival. The fourth annual festival
will be held on the Daily farm on
Saturday. Sept. 13, and Sunday.
Sept. 14. from 10 a.m.-S p.m.
Jane is a native Lenape, who
carries on traditions of her tribe
that settled in the area until the
government forced the tribe to
relocate.
“The festival is held to honor
future generations and our ances
tors,” Jane said.
Three clans exist in the Lenapi
tribe: wolf, turtle, and the wild
turkey of which Jane is a clan
mother or elder. Her Indian name
is Dancing Leaves, although, Jane
said, the name can change
throughout life.
From 2,000 to 4,000 people
attend the annual festival. Native
singing, dancing, and arts and
crafts will be featured. The assort
ment of crafts include work by
Lenape, Seminole, Navajo, Zuni,
Sioux, Cherokee, and South
American artists.
Native handiwork will include
dolls, jewelry, flutes, knives, tradi
tional herbs, leather, beadwork,
books, furniture, clothing, paint
ings. clay miniatures, bison robes,
long bows, beekeeping products.
Indian com, and grourd artistry.

SIMPLE PROCEDURE: the aerator works directly into the bed of
material, forming its own windrow. Windrows can be formed from piles
of nearly any size. Alleyways are not required when using the Brown
aerator, so there is a great reduction in space requirements. The
aerator’s reverse rotation works the material from the bottom up and to
the side, assuring complete mixing and agitation. LOW
MAINTENANCE: the aerator is a simple design, the principle as a
material mover has been proven with over 30 years experience in
practical application. The aerator is hydraulically driven and equipped
with patented wearplates or paddles, both of which are easily replaced.

The festival is entered through
the Myrick Conservation Center
located at Rt 842, West Chester.
"The festival is so isolated that
it's almost like walking into
another world,” Jane said.
According to Jane, there are 600
people living in Pennsylvania who
are Lenapis. Unfortunately, she
said, the government does not rec
ognize them. When a census was
taken in the area, she reported that
she was Lenapi, but the published
reports said that no Indians live in
the area.
According to Jane, the govern
ment considers no Indians exist
unless there are at least 50 settled
in the same area.
She enjoys following the tradi
tions of the Lenapi. She often pre
pares meals such as a com dish
with three kinds of com, and buffa
lo, bear, venison, and goose.
Jane and others working at the
two-day festival will be dressed in
regalia.
“Never say costume," she said
of referring to an Indian’s clothing.
Other taboos are strangers
touching parts of the regalia or tak
ing pictures without permission
during the-ceremonies.
Admission to the festival is $5
for adults. $2.50 for children 6-18
years, and under S years is free.

When we came home from our
week in the mountains, one of the
first things that we did was to
check our gardens. In one garden
we found more “Roly-Poly" zuc
chini than we could use. And, the
broccoli was ready to harvest plus
the beans.
In the other garden we found,
five cantaloupes and a few cucum
bers. This definitely is not the year
that I can 120 pints of pickles. It is
quite dry and that affects many of
our vegetables, although the tom

While some visiting grandchil
dren were at our home, I decided
to dig potatoes. It is a job that they
seem to enjoy. Each shovelful
turns up a surprise of big and little
potatoes. They like to see who can

Our work watch has all the features
needed to endure the punishment you will put it through. The WATER
RESISTANT seal will protect your watch when you irrigate fields, fix
broken water systems, get milk splashed on your arm while feeding
calves, or walk the fence in the rain, to find out where your cattle are
getting out. Being SHOCK RESISTANT, your work watch will continue
to work when it is slapped by a cow's tail, a falling board, or the belt
shield that your arm slams against when your wrench slips off the bolt.
While your watch is scraped by branches, rubbed against walls, and
knocked against machinery, the low profile, SCRATCH RESISTANT,
glass crystal will resist the scratches and cracks that render watches
unreadable. The BATTERY POWERED QUARTZ movement of your
work watch is accurate to within 2 minutes per year, and does not need
to be wound, meaning that your watch will be on time, all the time,
without any effort on your part.
A final proof of the strength of this watch and of its suitability to your
needs is the warranty. If your watch stops running within TWO YEARS
of the date of purchase the manufacturer will repair or replace your
watch at no charge.
To receive your new work watch, complete the coupon below and
send it with your payment. Your work watch will arrive shortly.

WORK
WATCH
Still Running Strong
In past years we sold hundreds of work
watches to hard-working individuals like
yourself who needed an accurate,
dependable timepiece. A watch that would
withstand the dust, moisture, bumps and
temperatures encountered on the farm, in
the orchard and in the woods. Many who
bought the .work watch told us it was the
best watch they had ever owned.
